To move a ball, it must be acted on by an outside force. Some mechanical energy will have to be applied to it. There are a number of different forces and a number of different balls. We use a club on a Golf ball. Baseballs are hit with a bat. A tennis ball is hit with a raquet. A soccer ball is struck with a body part. In all cases, the ball is struck and is accelerated by an outside force. This stuff goes back to Newton. Here's the condensed version. If it's at rest, it wants to stay that way. If it's in motion, it wants to stay that way. And either will be the case unless an outside force (sometimes called an unbalanced force) acts to change things. That's Newton's first law or the law of inertia. Apply a force to a ball and it will move.

Why is the cricket ball a specific shape and size?
so it will roll and move like a specific way.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontall thrown ball the ball would?
If air resistance is taken into account, the ball would continue moving in a horizontal direction, slowing as it went and then stop - suspended in mid air. If there were no air resistance, the ball would continue to move in a straight line for ever. However, the surface of the earth would curve downwards (because it is a sphere) and so, relative to the earth, the ball would fly off at a tangent into space. Of course, all this begs the question as to why the person who threw the ball did not fly off onto space long before throwing the ball!

How do you do a good move in four square?
A good move in four square, that is to get a player out, is to do a corner hit. A corner hit is when you vigorously slam the ball in the corner of a player's square. Corner hits are almost impossible to recover, but skilled players might be able to recover one.
